Brief Summary:
Lung volume reduction surgery LVRS has been advanced as a therapy to significantly improve quality of life in patients with COPD but to date no controlled studies have evaluated the impact of LVRS
Detailed Description:
Background
Lung volume reduction surgery LVRS has been advanced as a therapy to significantly improve quality of life in patients with COPD but to date no controlled studies have evaluated the impact of LVRS
Objectives
Evaluate cost-effectiveness of LVRS compared to current therapy for COPD
Methods
This is a case control study in which veterans undergoing LVRS at VA Puget Sound Health Care System VAPSHCS are compared to patients with a similar severity of disease at Boise VAMC who are not undergoing LVRS Changes in health related quality of life are being evaluated using three instruments the SF-36 the St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire and the Quality of Well-Being Scale the latter to calculate utility associated with different health states Costs will be determined using utilization data on outpatient visits medications oxygen use inpatient days radiology tests laboratory tests and emergency room visits are being collected for the twelve months before and after surgery Costs will be calculated according to VA and community standards
